The Centralia Downtown Association (CDA) and Economic Alliance of Lewis County will host the final Revitalization Roundtable of 2026 on Monday, Sept. 28, at Dick’s Brewery.
Doors will open at 5 p.m., with the roundtable program beginning at 6 p.m. Dick’s Brewery’s bar and Dick’s Sandwich Shop food truck will be open for attendees wishing to purchase food and beverages, according to a news release from the CDA.
Throughout 2026, the Revitalization Roundtables have created a space for business owners, community leaders, residents, property owners, local organizations and other stakeholders to come together for open conversations about Centralia’s growth, challenges, opportunities and future.
The September gathering will build on those conversations under the theme “Celebrating Progress. Building What’s Next.”
The evening will also feature a special presentation from the Port of Centralia, giving attendees an opportunity to learn more about current work, development, and opportunities within the community.
“The Roundtables have been about bringing people into the same room and creating space for meaningful conversations about where our community is today and where we want to go next,”
MacKenzie McGee, executive director of the CDA, said in the release. “This final gathering gives us a chance to recognize the progress happening across Centralia while continuing to listen, connect, and identify opportunities to move forward together.”
Attendees will participate in facilitated table discussions designed to gather ideas and perspectives, strengthen connections and continue conversations around revitalization and the future of the community.
The Revitalization Roundtable is open to anyone interested in Centralia’s future, and previous participation is not required.
The 2026 Revitalization Roundtable series has been a collaborative effort between the CDA and Economic Alliance of Lewis County, with a shared goal of bringing community voices together, strengthening partnerships and creating opportunities for conversation around Centralia’s continued revitalization.
